Issue Robots.txt redirects to home (using WPMUDEV)

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.54

Hello .. new to the forum, I hope I am posting correctly:

We use WMPUDEV to improve our sites. One tool (SmartCrawl) manages the robots.txt. However, the file (being setup bij WPMUDEV) is being redirected to the homepage. WPMUDEV says it has to do with certain rules in NGINX. As these config-files are being setup by Plesk, I would like to know how/ where to manage this?

Unless you have set your own custom Nginx directives in the "Apache & Nginx" hosting settings, Nginx does not rewrite robots.txt to the homepage. Instead, please check the content of your .htaccess file as it is far more likely that Apache is rewriting a URL.
